Eid ul-Adha brings with it the spirit of sacrifice, devotion, and unity. As we prepare for this holy occasion in 2025, the way we buy sacrificial animals continues to evolve. With rising temperatures and the hectic nature of physical haats, more people are opting to buy Qurbani animals online. Bikroy Birat Haat – Bangladesh’s first and most trusted digital haat – makes it easier than ever to find and purchase the perfect sacrificial animal from the comfort of your home.
